September 28, 2005. Braselton, Georgia. Michael James, Team Principal for
Gardena, California-based MJ Motorsports, announced plans today to expand
his teams' operations beyond the Star Mazda Championship presented by
Goodyear with an additional two-car effort in the Champ Car Atlantic
Series, having placed deposits for two of the upcoming Swift Atlantic
chassis.

Recently announced by Champ Car, the new Swift 016.a chassis will feature
a 300-horsepower, 2.3 liter Cosworth engine, Pi Electronics, and
additional regulations aimed at keeping costs reasonable. At the same
time the Champ Car Atlantic Series has announced an incentive program
that will provide the series champion with a $2 million to be used in
assisting that driver into a Champ Car ride.

"One of the my core motivations for creating MJ Motorsports was the
desire to create an organization that would be dedicated to developing
the future generation of both drivers and crew members," James, a
graduate of Santa Clara University explained. "In our first year as a
team we have built a core group of individuals to make this vision a
reality, with the announcement of the new Swift chassis for the 2006
Atlantic championship we felt this was the perfect time to continue our
expansion plans."

"With the new chassis both existing teams and incoming teams will start
on equal footing," James explained. "Rather than wait, and allow others
a head start in developing the new chassis, we believe we have the team
that can develop this new car into a race winner as well."

While understanding that there will be a lot of work involved in the
expansion process, James has put together a crew of veterans to help
maintain a level of excellence in both programs, with former DSTP team
advisor and engineer Kent Stacy leading the Atlantic effort and Danny
Gagliano, Team Manager for several Team Bucknum Racing championship
winning efforts heading the Star Mazda Championship campaign.

Stacy, himself a championship winning driver, has engineered multiple
championship winning cars in the Star Mazda Championship and helped guide
one of those champions, Joey Hand, to the Atlantic Series
Rookie-of-the-Year title in 2001, a process he looks to repeat with this
organization. "With these series as competitive as they are, you need
every possible advantage you can get," Stacy explained. "This
organization will allow us to groom drivers in the Star Mazda
Championship, getting them familiar with how we communicate, and as they
develop bring them up to the Atlantic Series where they can continue to
grow, without having to adjust to different teams and their ways of
working."

To guarantee that the Star Mazda Championship, featuring the
240-horsepower Mazda rotary engine, continues as an effective training
tool will be the responsibility of Gagliano, who's experience with Team
Bucknum Racing, which competed in both the Star Mazda and American Le
Mans Series, gives him an understanding of what it takes to remained
focused when a team is competing in two places. "Communication is
critical to the success of a team, whether it is between a driver and
engineer, or manager and crew member," Gagliano said. "This season
Kent, MJ and I have worked together laying the first layer of the MJ
Motorsports plan, by creating a team that can communicate clearly and
effectively. Now as Kent and MJ work on shaping the Atlantic program I
have been given the task of continuing to build the Mazda program."

With the course laid out, James now looks to start putting the pieces
together, starting with the acquisition of a Swift 014 Atlantic chassis
to begin an aggressive winter testing campaign, focused on laying a solid
foundation of communication between team and drivers. "We are in talks
with drivers for both seats of our Atlantic effort as well as our
four-car Mazda campaign and looking to outline the winter testing
program," James said.
